Wells Fargo’s Michael Schumacher said the market expects Powell to be tough on raising interest rates after recent dovish comments from other central bank officials. Last week, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard, for example, said he wanted to see a third consecutive 0.75 percentage point rate hike in September.
“I don’t believe he’s going to pull out the talons and sound a hawk. I’m afraid he’s going to be a hawk.” Schumacher says.
